Lyrics
[verse]
My grandfather came off a boat with nothing but his name
Built a little business up from nothing, from the same old flame
Worked his fingers raw to give us something we could hold
Never told us all the weight he carried, never told
[verse]
Now the market's crashing and the numbers don't add up
Every bill that's coming in feels like an empty cup
I walk the same streets that he walked when he arrived
Wondering how his kind of dream survives
[chorus]
So take a walk, take a walk with me tonight
Through the streets that built us, through the fading light
Everything's uncertain but we're still moving on
Take a walk with me until the story's gone
Take a walk, take a walk, we'll figure out the rest
Every generation's carrying its own test
[verse]
My son don't know the hunger that his great-grandfather knew
But he'll inherit all the worry that keeps building new
Every era's got its own kind of storm to weather
We just gotta learn to carry it together
[chorus]
So take a walk, take a walk with me tonight
Through the streets that built us, through the fading light
Everything's uncertain but we're still moving on
Take a walk with me until the story's gone
Take a walk, take a walk, we'll figure out the rest
Every generation's carrying its own test
[bridge]
Every step's a debt we're paying down
Every step's a piece of this old town
Every step's a story handed down
Take a walk before the sun goes down
[chorus]
So take a walk, take a walk with me tonight
Through the streets that built us, through the fading light
Everything's uncertain but we're still moving on
Take a walk with me until the story's gone
